On the other hand, if a future administration wants to get around that pardon, they can just snatch these people off the street and throw them on a plane to another country to be locked up in a hellish concentration camp. Then when lawyers point out that they were pardoned the government can just say “whoopsie” and ignore them.

Waste of money. If the bill of rights doesn’t hold water then we might as well do the human e thing and slit their throats in a field. Leave their bodies for the vultures. Don’t have to waste bullets or dig holes. No reason to kill the environment shipping people off.

Pardoning crimes is a fucked precedent. When someone is found guilty in a fair trail it can be overruled on the whims of a single person? The US has the strangest idea of justice.
